Uhm... No. Due to python they can only run one system on a CPU if you can run one system on _All_ CPUs it would have plenty of power.

You can only run one system on a CPU because the order that the computations is done matters and the overhead from talking to other CPUs, waiting around for the results, and putting those results in the right order would negate any gains.

It has nothing to do with Python and everything to do with running a complex real-time simulation.

Time dilation is gamebreaking for the smaller side, simply because it gives the bigger side 10x the time to ping and get people online.

Yeah, which is why multicore processors are so much slower than single cores, right?

"Waiting around for the results" (something that takes nanoseconds) negates the benefit of billions of additional cycles every second?

>Implying that the smaller side shouldnt win if they almost flawlessly execute something only to be shot down

I mean, seriously? What motivates people to post with authority on subjects about which they are so clearly uneducated?

"Waiting around for the results" (something that takes nanoseconds) negates the benefit of billions of additional cycles every second?



Also giving the smaller side 10x the time to get people online and even up the odds, or gain the advantage. So it benefits both sides equally.

pls.

Until you hit server cap that is. If you can not get more than 2,000 pilots into a system because a system with a 200 force got hotdropped and escalated into server cap situation, it isn't going to matter.

You can have 5,000 pilots at your disposal, or be ready to be available in an hour, and it won't make a lick of difference when they cannot enter the system. TiDi at that point definitely helps the larger force due to sheer brute strength.

Yes because all those cycle go to waste because they need data coming of the preceding function being executed on the other core. An EVE node would probably benefit much more from a clock speed increase to memory and CPU than it would from adding additionnal CPU.

More CPU would still ahve somebenefit at soem point tho. If CCP was able to have a dedicated core + some addressed memory for the execution of that core only as a single node, it would potentially be able to run more node on thier own dedicated CPU thus reducing the spread of TiDi when it hit a system that was not reinforced. The problem is that cost money and the benefit is small. Random large battle don't happen that often. We don't have Asakai happening every week even so building your system to sustain such things is mostly seen as a waste of ressources.

Since everybody know those system will choke, just for up earlyer and jump in. Just like the CFC did in 6VDT. Hours ahead of the timer IIRC.

What would be your opinion on tidi having an impact on the decision to engage in those large fights that the outcome is less insured than normal?

Timers don't get affected by TiDi which is a fun dynamic.

Take the risk of engaging or don't take it. TiDi or not, the choice is there. It's a variable that has to be taken into account pretty much anytime caps are fielded not it seems because escalation can come out of nowhere really fast. If you don't risk it and stand down, you will enver get ****** over by TiDi. If you engage, you might get beaten by a group than handle the new variable better than you do.

What I mean is... Asakai would most likely happen every week if Tidi wasn't so prevalent.

I mean, we've been having escalations and caps and supers and such every day.

If tidi was not such a scary beast I'm sure we'd have much larger fights more often to push that envelope.

No because no how much people want to belive 0.0 alliance are THAT spacerich, they can't replace blown-up cap/supercap at that rate. There would also be less time for the escalation to happen because you have to form up and setup a cyno chain. That still takes time even if the trapped titan is under TiDi.

Asakai wouldn't have happened at all. It would have been over before the test of new Eden could have gotten there.

Or there node would have crashed..

Think of it this way... you have X amount of capitals, supers, titans, etc and you know you do not want to structure grind, you know you also do not want to commit that behemoth because it would take 20 minutes to get the ship to even do anything, let alone get a result.

So, take the tidi meta out of the picture, take sov grinding out of the picture (since you don't want to structure grind anyways...) what else would you want to use the ship for? Ratting? Oh joy there.

Now, pretend for a moment tidi was not an element... would you want to escalate into a super fight?

Nerf power projection

That's not an example of TiDi working against either side. Since bother are under the affects of TiDi, there is no advantage, and the more prepared, aggressive side wins the engagement.

Nerf having players help one another. Or having a group of players helping one another that is greater than another group of players helping one another.

That would technically make more sense but at the end of the day, it's much more damaging to the small entity who can't have people everywhere as it is to the large one who can anyway. But people don't see it that way. They see the CFC saving a tital by using power projection and all go OOOPPP!!!!!!!!

yeah "undock, warp to fleet member" was how our OP power projection ability saved the day

Wasn't the station bubbled so you jumped out of system and then abck in?
